If, as Titus explains, I am motivated by the properties that he has upgraded and renovated to try to bring my own property (paid for by income from my own actual work) up to the high standards of these taxpayer-funded properties, will I be able to get "...funds from the U.S. Department …

Robert, I was at the hearings in 2014 and your description here is almost exactly what the Kirby push boat captain did then: tried to get out of a jam by trying to beat the oncoming vessel by crossing its bow; resulting in the collision with the inbound ship at the Texas City / ICW crossing …

Are you familiar with the Rules of the Road? Failure to adhere to them by a Kirby tug / barge was the cause of a collision with passing ship in the Houston Ship Channel in 2014. May be just a little premature to assign blame to the tanker (by the way, the Genesis River is not an LNG tanker) …

I guess I am a little astounded by the massive amount of trade with China I have learned about since this recent "tariff war" has emerged. I recall quite well when the US had zero trade with the PRC and when, the door finally cracked open, it was an unusual event to encounter someo…

Our modest house has had the appraisals increased by over 130% in 5 years and that is with our best efforts at protesting them each of the last 4 years. Taxation without representation and without accountability of elected officials. My favorite year was the one where 3 of the "comparab…
